Inspiring Futures

Inspiring Futures is a career-related learning, volunteer-based program, bringing together underrepresented (BIPOC) industry professionals to inspire and to engage students from equity deserving communities. This evidence-based concept has proven to raise youth aspirations, broaden horizons, challenge gender, socioeconomic and ethnic biases at an earlier age, provide a link between education and employment, and encourages a positive outlook on school.
